Enclosure Trends: Comfort, Aesthetics, and Energy Savings

Subscriber Access

Known as building envelope surfaces that define and condition spaces, enclosures play a key role in architecture. In response to the need to ventilate, heat, and provide maximum comfort inside the home, enclosure systems have evolved in both composition and functionality. Along with closing and opening spaces, their primary function today is to act as a barrier between the interior and exterior, responding to climatic variations and providing thermal comfort to building occupants.

Within the range of windows and their variations as building enclosures, aluminum and PVC solutions from Strugal integrate the design of doors, lightweight facades, and solar shading systems, delivering comfort, aesthetics, and energy savings. By analyzing these construction solutions, the planning of future architectural projects facilitates the study of materials, as well as energy and acoustic calculations.
